The path of addiction often leads men to legal issues and court involvement. We are not legal counsel, but we do help men meet their court obligations. Every situation is unique. We do our best to assist men to get their lives back on track.
Residents are required to attend 12 step meetings, do chores, pay rent on time,
and abide by curfew.

The Hickey House is located just outside Helen, Georgia at the headwaters of the Chattahoochee River. The beautiful North Georgia mountains are nearby and the houses are within walking distance of job opportunities, outdoor fun, and convenient access to anything you may need.
Clients are required to maintain full time gainful employment to develop life skills and balance in recovery. Work opportunities are plentiful in Helen and residents assist one another with finding work and transportation.
An array of seasonal opportunities are available to residents of the Hickey House including hiking, kayaking, volleyball, fishing, trailing running, movies, and more. All activities are optional. Do as many or as few as you please.
